What is the main idea behind pyrolysis?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
6 0

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

What protects the Earth from meteorites and the sun's rays? (4 points)
inna [77]
I believe the answer is D. The atmosphere, different layers of the atmosphere can help in different ways! The stratosphere helps protect us from the sun's rays; The Mesophere is what helps protect us from meteorites! It's so cold that they burn up in that area.

What is 0.00034 in exponential form
Verizon [17]

Answer:

3.4  ×  10 ^− 4

Explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

n a gas-phase equilibrium mixture of SbCl5, SbCl3, and Cl2 at 500 K, pSbCl5 = 0.17 bar and pSbCl3 = 0.22 bar. Calculate the equi
Lorico [155]

Answer:

2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

SbCl₅(g) ⇄ SbCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) is 3.5 × 10⁻⁴. We can use these data and the partial pressures at equilibrium of SbCl₅ and SbCl₃, to find the partial pressure at equilibrium of Cl₂.

Kp = pSbCl₃ × pCl₂ / pSbCl₅

pCl₂ = Kp × pSbCl₅ / pSbCl₃

pCl₂ = 3.5 × 10⁻⁴ × 0.17 / 0.22

pCl₂ = 2.7 × 10⁻⁴ bar
